The president from a parallel universe

The president from a parallel universe that we were fated not to have. And these words from the speech say everything that needs to be said about why Mitt Romney is not President of the United States today.

Of course rules of fairness have to be enforced because what other safeguards do we have besides the press. [Drawing a big laugh and applause from the crowd.] Now I never suggest the press is biased. I recognise they have their job to do and I have my job to do. My job is to lay out a positive vision for the future of the country, and their job is to make sure no one else finds out about it. [Drawing an even bigger laugh and even more applause.]

FURTHER THOUGHTS: I of course put this post up because it is one year ago today that Obama was re-elected. There would be few here who would not have vastly preferred Romney to Obama at the time but in the twelve months since, you really do have to wonder how Obama has a supporter left. But he does because he represents a mentality that is hard to truly fathom, the religion of the left where actual accomplishments and dealing with our problems in a realistic way is a distant second to being virtuous and pure of heart. Not all on the left are like this, but the socialist ideal taps into a form of mental derangement that makes a large difference when the votes are counted. To most of us, Obama is beyond compare the worst imaginable president. To others, there is literally nothing he could conceivably do that would alienate them or their votes. Clinton sought to end welfare as we know it and actually legislated these changes into law. Obama exactly reversed what Clinton had done and has made millions dependent on the state. But they love Clinton and they love Obama because they have nothing else but the politics of virtue to sustain them.
